Living Will, Living Well

Completion of a living will forces one to face their mortality. Dr. Dianne Godkin poses the question: is our health care system structured to meet the needs of people nearing the end of their lives? Her narrative takes shape around personal anecdotes and Alice, a composite character patient drawn from many case studies. Written in an accessible tone, this book will inform health care professionals and the public who are seeking a better understanding of the benefits of writing an advance health care directive.
